General Discussion

Welcome to the Utah Independent News Association discussion forum.

This space is for publishers, journalists, and community members who care about the future of independent local journalism in Utah.

If you're new here, feel free to introduce yourself.

• Where are you located?

• Are you connected to a news outlet or interested in starting one?

• What is happening with local news coverage in your community?

Across Utah and much of the country, local news organizations are navigating major changes.

Some communities have lost newspapers entirely. Others are experimenting with new digital models.

For people working in or around local journalism, what do you see as the biggest challenge right now?

Is it:

• sustaining local advertising

• building reader support
